SPECIFICATION forming part of -Lette rs l?atent No. 545,744, datedSeptember 3, 1895.

Application filed April 2, 1395.

To all whom it may concern;- p

Be it known that we, SIMEON STEWART and HOMER S. CARNES, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Lima, in the county of Allen and State ofOhio, have invented new and use f ul 1 mprovements in Hydrocarbon-Burn crs, of

' which vthe following is a specification.

had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecificatiomwherein- Figure '1 is a side elevation of our improvedburner. Fig. 2 is, a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a verticalcross-sectiontaken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top plan viewof the base or deflector plate. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section takenon the line 5 5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a transverse central section of the'deflector-plate, and Fig.7 is a top plan view of a modified form of mixer. In the drawin gswehave illustrated adouble burner especially designed for use in astove;

I but it will be'evident that'one orany number of burners may beemployed,and that the same may be employed for any of the purposesto.

which hydrocarbon-burners are applicable.

- -Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the base of theburner consisting of a rectangular plate having parallel. sides andsegment-shaped ends and'having a'downwardly-proj ectin g flange 2 aboutits sides and ends.

- Said plate is highest atits centef and gradually inclines downwardlytowardthe opposite ends, as at 3, and near the ends'is curved incross-section, as shown in Fig. 3, and thence inclines upwardly to theends, forming two concaved or cup-shaped oil-receptacles 4. Channels 5are arranged upon the opposite sides of the deflector-plate 1 and affordcom-' munication between the twooil-receptacles 4, for the purposehereinafter described.

" ing-pipeand Serial No. 544,204. (No model) a frame or shelf 7, that isof the same size and general shape as the deflector-plate .1, and saidshelf uponits upperand'oppos'ite sides is-pro- 'vided with lugs 8 thatproject above the plane of the shelf to form supports for vthevaporfully hereinafter appear.

The numeral 9 'ndicates theoil supply pipe one end of a-coiledvaporizing-pipe 11' that rests upon the lugs 8 g and at its other end isprovided with a T-coupling 1 latter project in opposite-directi'two'supen' heating pipes 13 that are closeda't their'oiiter ends,and'nearleach' end upon the underside are provided with jet-apertures14'. Said superh'eati'ng-pipes are supported at their outer ends byuprights 15 or cast with the shelf-7. a Suspended from the superbating-pipes 13 are mixers 16, each consisting of a hollow shell 17 ofthe shape of aninverted truncated cone, and having centrally arrangedtherein a tube 18 that is; supported inplace by webs 19 cast integralwith said shell and; tube. The shell 17, is provided with two perforatedcars 20, which'are slipped over the superheat bymeans of which the nixers are suspended from said pipes over the,.'oil-' receptacles 4 andin such manner that the apertures 14. The lugs 8' that project-.diagmixers 16 into place and insure th tube 18 being arranged inproper rel'atio othejetaperture. 1 1 Instead of making the mixer.circular in superheating-pipes 13a-nd escapes by the jetapertures 14 anddrips into the oil receptacles 4. The channels dinsnre an equal supplyof izing-pipe and also-project laterally inward to form guides for themixers, as will more that are secured to tube 18 shall accuratelyalign"with the jet-.

onally inward, as before described, guide the- Bolted to the oppositesidesand ends of the deflector-plated are uprights 6,.which support .S5

provided with a valve 10, and connected with v from which a l i IO'flows through the vaporizing-pipe 11 into'the conditionagainst thedeflector-plate 1, the inclined faces of which diffuse the heatthroughout the combustion-chamber,'the'raised and inclined-centralportion of said iplate throw- .ing the heat outward from the center ofthe A burner, where it would 'otherwise be concentrated. By supportingthe. vaporizing coil upon lugs, as shown, the pipe is held outof contactwith the metallic surface of the shelf,

whereby the oil therein is very quickly vapor-.

ized in the, initial burning; Moreover, such arrangemei'atv permits thepassage of the-air between the 'shelf and the vaporizing-pipe, thusprotecting the pipe from direct contact with the flame.

' Having described our invention, whatwe claim is" V v I 1;A'hydrocarbon burner, consistingof a defieetor' plate having an oilreceptacle,- a vaporizing coil s'upportedabove said plate, a superheating pipe. connected therew'ithand provided upon its under side witha jet aperture and a'mixer suspended from said superheatin g pipe overthe oil receptacleand consisting of an inverted truncated-cone-shapcdshell having centrally supported therein a tube-a1?! ranged directlybeneath the jet aperture, an

air passage gradually diminishing in area d er side with jetapertures,*m ixers, one'for alignment with the jet orifices by the said5 from top to bottom being formed between the shell and tube,substantially as described.

2. A hydrocarbon burner, consisting of a deflector plate having oilreceptacles, of a shelf supported above the same and provided upon itsupper side with inwardly projecting raised lugs, a vaporizing coilsupported upon said lugs, .superh'eatingpipes connected with said coiland'su'pported by uprights carried by said shelf, said pipes beingprovided upon the uneach' jet aperture, provided with perforated" ears,said mixers being suspended from the superhcating pipes by said ears andheld in lugs, substantially as described.

3. A hydrocarbon burn er, consisting of a deflectorplate raised atitscenter and inclined downwardly in. opposite directions 'therefrom towardits ends, concaved oil receptacles 61 formed'in the ends ofsaid'deflector plate, channels connectingsaid'oil receptacles, avaporizing coilsupported above said plate,- superheating pipes connectedwith said coil and provided upon the under side with jet aper- 6 tnresarranged above said oil receptacles, and mixers arranged above saiddeflector. plate and immediately beneath said jet apertures,substantially as described;
